Leicester City vs Liverpool Predictions
[wptb id=391213]
An Intense Battle for Survival and Top-Four Hopes
Key Stats
– Leicester have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 20 top-flight fixtures.
– Mohamed Salah has scored seven goals in his last seven appearances.
Leicester City’s Relegation Fears and Recent Performance
Leicester City’s relegation fears have grown after a devastating 5-3 loss to Fulham, leaving them in the relegation zone with only three fixtures remaining. As they face Liverpool at King Power on Monday night, they’ll be hoping for a much-needed win to boost their survival chances. However, their home record has been less than impressive, with only two home victories since the World Cup break.
Liverpool’s Top-Four Pursuit and Current Form
Liverpool have been in great form, securing six consecutive Premier League wins and re-entering the top-four race. They’re now only one point behind fourth-placed Manchester United and three points behind Newcastle. Jurgen Klopp’s side will be eager to extend their winning streak as they fight for a Champions League qualification spot.

Leicester City’s Defensive Struggles
Leicester City’s defence has been a significant issue, as they have conceded goals at an alarming rate. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 20 top-flight fixtures, and 13 of those matches have seen over 2.5 goals. Despite their attacking capabilities, they will likely struggle against Liverpool’s potent offence.
Their lack of defensive stability has led to an increase in the number of cards they receive. With a total of 1.7 yellow cards per game and two red cards, they will have to maintain discipline in this crucial match against Liverpool to avoid further setbacks.
Liverpool’s Attacking Prowess
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool boast a powerful attacking lineup that could take advantage of Leicester’s weak defence.
One of the key factors in Liverpool’s offensive success has been their ability to create and capitalise on corner-kick opportunities. Averaging 6.1 corners per game, they have consistently put pressure on their opponents’ defences, leading to scoring chances.
Mohamed Salah: A Goal-Scoring Machine
Mohamed Salah is in excellent form, having scored seven goals in his last seven appearances. He is on the verge of becoming the first Liverpool player to score 20+ league goals in three consecutive seasons since Roger Hunt in the mid-60s. Given his current form and Leicester’s defensive struggles, Salah is likely to contribute to Liverpool’s victory.
The Importance of the Midfield Battle
Both teams will rely heavily on their midfielders to dictate the tempo and create goal-scoring opportunities. Leicester’s midfield, led by Youri Tielemans and Wilfred Ndidi, will have to step up and provide defensive cover while also linking up with their attacking talents. Liverpool’s midfield, featuring the likes of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, will be crucial in breaking up Leicester’s attacks and setting up their own goal-scoring chances.
The Battle of the Managers
Jurgen Klopp and Dean Smith will engage in a tactical battle as they seek to outwit each other and secure a win for their respective teams. Klopp’s aggressive pressing style could exploit Leicester’s defensive frailties, while Smith must find a way to contain Liverpool’s attacking threat and make the most of his team’s offensive capabilities.
Bet Builder Opportunity
Given the performances of both teams, a Bet Builder from William Hill with the selections Liverpool Over 2 Goals, Leicester Over 2 Cards, and Liverpool Over 4 Corners, returning 11/1, seems like a good deal. Leicester averages 1.7 yellow cards per game and have received two red cards, while Liverpool averages 6.1 corners per game so it is likely that all the conditions of this bet will be met, and it makes sense to take advantage of this offer.
Our analysis also suggests that the correct score prediction for the match will be a 3-1 victory for Liverpool. This prediction takes into account Leicester’s weak defensive record and Liverpool’s current winning streak and attacking form.
